The differences between open-source fonts and commercial options. Whether using Google Fonts or Adobe Fonts is really safe What designers and developers need to know before selecting a font. The risks of skipping proper font licensing — and how to avoid them.

I veckans avsnitt dyker Hans och Patrik ner i den heta striden mellan X och Bluesky, där Bluesky stoltserar med en miljon nya användare på bara 24 timmar. De utforskar också de coola funktionerna på Bluesky och diskuterar The Beatles' sista låt, restaurerad med AI och nominerad till en Grammy. På teknologifronten, med koppling till skolan, tar de sig en titt på Perplexitys nya annonsplattform och Googles senaste AI-initiativ. De diskuterar också hur AI påverkar läxhjälpsjätten Chegg och om företaget kan återhämta sig eller går samma öde till mötes som Kodak. Hans delar även några praktiska tips, om hur man kan använda flikar i Google Dokument och anpassa dokument med snygga omslagsbilder. Det pratas även om Google Fonts och Google Trends, och tipsas om Goblin Tools, en AI-tjänst som inte kräver inloggning och kan vara till stor nytta för elever. I avsnittet tar de också upp ICILS 2023 och diskuterar svenskarnas digitala kompetens. Här reflekteras det över hur digitala verktyg i skolan inte automatiskt leder till bättre digitala färdigheter och hur socioekonomisk bakgrund påverkar elevernas prestationer. Precis som vanligt, även denna vecka, är det mesta sig likt då samtalet handlar om skola, digitalisering och lite annat.
On the podcast today, David Waumsley and I go a journey through the evolution of web typography! We both admit to feeling a mix of intrigue and intimidation toward typography, traditionally seen as the realm of design experts. We start by acknowledging the historical constraints of web typography and the relevance of its principles, despite the shift to the digital age. We then get into modern practices, such as responsive design and the shift from pixels to rems. We also explore new web typography features, including font size adjust, kerning, and scroll animations, while emphasising the significance of accessibility and internationalisation, particularly for non-Latin languages. Fluid typography and its benefits, like proportional font size changes, are highlighted, along with tools such as the Utopia CSS generator for creating cohesive designs. The practicalities of ensuring readability through proper spacing and underlining are also explored. We wrap up with a look at the shift from system fonts to the abundance of Google Fonts, highlighting the importance of readability and clarity in contemporary web design. For anyone interested in the nuances of modern web typography and responsive design, this episode is for you.

Welcome to a solo episode! In this special episode of the podcast, I talk about the recen Tableau Customer conference in San Diego, which drew over 9,000 participants. I reflect on various aspects of the conference, including its diverse sessions that ranged from showcasing new Tableau features and case studies to hands-on workshops and discussions on data visualization beyond Tableau. I was a presenter at TC and presented my work on the Urban Institute's Do No Harm Project.My review of the conference focuses just on the positives of the conference—the upcoming features in Tableau, such as allowing Tableau Public users to save work their locally, as well as some thoughts on why I—who is not a huge Tableau user—actually attends the conference. I also discuss a few of the sessions I attended, including hands-on sessions and games in Tableau.Topics Discussed Conference Overview: A recap of the Tableau Conference, highlighting its scale with over 9,000 participants and the variety of sessions that catered to both seasoned data analysts and newcomers to the field. Tableau's New Features. Significant updates to Tableau, including the ability for Tableau Public users to save work locally – a feature that potentially redefines the need for Tableau Desktop licenses. I also talk about the introduction of customizable themes, Google Fonts integration, VIS Extensions, and the leaps in AI and real-time data integration within Tableau. Community and Networking: I reflect on the value of the community that Tableau fosters, especially through networking opportunities that are more crucial than ever in the post-pandemic era.➡️ Check out more links, notes, transcript, and more at the PolicyViz website.

Vor 1.5 Jahren entschied sich Dr. Max Greger bei LinkedIn authentischer aufzutreten. Vom Bild mit Anzug und Krawatte ging es zum lockeren Auftritt mit Duzen statt Siezen. Das markiert für Max den Anfangspunkt einer Reise, die ihm diesen Sommer den Sprung aus der größeren Partnerschaft in die eigene Kanzlei ermöglicht hat. In dieser Folge erfahrt ihr: - wie Max seine Community bei Linkedin, aber auch über Youtube und seinen Podcast, aufgebaut hat und wie es zu seinen viralen Beiträge zu Google-Fonts kam - wie Max die Entscheidung getroffen hat, eine eigene Kanzlei zu gründen (Spoiler-Alert: Eine Entscheidung kann auch ein längerer Prozess sein und sich nach und nach ergeben) - wie er Mandate über Social Media gewinnt und warum das zwar funktioniert, aber nicht das Hauptanliegen des Engagements sein sollte - wie es ist LinkedIn-Bekanntschaften in real Life zu treffen und warum LinkedIn wie ein Vorfilter für Bekanntschaften mit denen „man gut kann“ ist Das und noch viel mehr erfahrt ihr in dieser Folge! Diese Episode ist ein absolutes Muss, wenn ihr überlegt auf Social Media aktiver zu werden :) Let's connect!

Linus is back und wird ermitteln zunächst einmal den Gewinner unseres mysteriösen Ratespiels der vorletzten Sendung. Nach etwas Feedback gibt es einen Nachruf auf die Corona-Warn-App und dann gibt es Kurzmeldungen zu der nicht ganz so intelligenten Firma Augustus Intelligence und Herrn Amthor und den Abmahnungen rund um Google Fonts. Zuletzt gehen wir auf das Wesen der AirTag-Technologie und dem damit möglichen Stalking ein, dass Google und Apple jetzt durch neue Maßnahmen weiter einschränken möchten.

What is needed is to add a JVM argument to the server. In my case I am using Ortus CommandBox and their ‘server.json' definition. I added this in the ‘jvm' section:```"jvm":{ "args":[ "-Dcoldfusion.datemask.useDasdayofmonth=true" ]}```That's the only change that is needed; the mentioned JAR hotfix is not needed. Omitting that setting has the same effect as setting it to ‘false'.https://www.evagoras.com/2023/04/24/clarifying-the-use-of-the-dateformat-d-mask-for-acf2021/5/2/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Hosting Google Fonts Locally For GDPR ComplianceOn episode 607 of the Syntax podcast, Wes and Scott interviewed the co-founders of Termageddon, a consulting company that helps websites create and maintain compliant policies. One of the topics that Termageddon has discussed in the past is Google Fonts. Google Fonts - when served from Google's APIs - have been ruled not GDPR compliant. However, if you serve Google Fonts up locally, they are GDPR compliant.

Bienvenue dans cet épisode 132 d'iWeek (la semaine Apple), le podcast. Que ne sait-on pas déjà sur l'iPhone 15 Pro ? Enregistré le mardi 11 avril 2023 à 17h30. Présentation : Benjamin Vincent. Intervenants : Fabrice Neuman, Elie Abitbol. Production : OUATCH Audio. Pour soutenir iWeek : patreon.com/iweek. Cette semaine : le coup de théâtre autour des nouveaux boutons de l'iPhone 15 Pro / Max auquel Apple aurait finalement renoncé est arrivé quelques heures après l'enregistrement : il confirme qu'on a l'impression de presque tout savoir, déjà, sur le futur iPhone dont la présentation officielle ne devrait avoir lieu que dans... cinq mois. Est-ce une idée fausse ? Apple en garde-t-elle sous le coude comme l'an dernier avec le Dynamic Island ? L'info de la semaine prochaine, ce sera la visite de Tim Cook en Inde, sept ans après sa précédente venue dans le sous-continent qui profite du désengagement croissant d'Apple en Chine. Le CEO d'Apple vient inaugurer deux premiers Apple Store, à Mumbai et New Delhi. Retour sur les enjeux de cette transition stratégique. L'info de la semaine, c'est la chute des ventes de Mac au 1er trimestre 2023 : -40% selon IDC, malgré le lancement des MacBook Pro 14 et 16“ M2 en janvier et des promotions rares depuis. Comment réagir et est-ce grave, docteur ? Les mises à jour de la semaine ont l'air mineures mais nous vous disons pourquoi il faut absolument les faire sans tarder. Et puis, le bonus exclusif pour vous, notre communauté Patreon : cette semaine, le bad buzz autour des Google Fonts, ces polices de caractères mises à disposition par Google pour les créateurs de sites web, téléchargeables et à qui certains reprochent d'exposer notre adresse IP, de ralentir les sites et de consommer de la bande passante. Une extension Safari payante, StopTheFonts, vient de sortir pour les bloquer. On en discute, juste après le générique de fin, rien que pour vous.

Talk Python To Me - Python conversations for passionate developers
We all know that privacy regulations are getting more strict. And that many of our users no longer believe that "privacy is dead". But for even medium-sized organizations, actually tracking how we are using personal info in our myriad of applications and services is very tricky and error prone. On this episode, we have Thomas La Piana from the Fides project to discuss privacy in our applications and how Fides can enforce and track privacy requirements in your Python apps.

This week, Creative Type Director Phil Garnham sits down with Elliot Jay Stocks, designer, musician, and lover of all things typographic. From his time with Adobe Typekit to his current project building out Google Fonts' Knowledge center, Elliot has explored the vast universe of typography and helped people understand what they need, how to use it, and why there's so much to love about type.
In den vergangenen Wochen haben Zigtausende Betreiber und Betreiberinnen von Websites Abmahnschreiben bekommen, weil dort von Google zur Verfügung gestellte Schriftarten eingebunden sind. Die darin erhobenen Vorwürfe wiegen schwer, angeblich hätten die Mandanten dadurch einen "tatsächlichen und wirtschaftlichen Nachteil" erlitten, es gehe um einen "Kontrollverlust". Ursache sei die Übermittlung der IP-Adresse an Google, denn auf den Servern des US-Konzerns liegen die zugehörigen Dateien zu den Schriftarten. Dadurch würde das Recht auf informationelle Selbstbestimmung verletzt, es gebe einen Anspruch auf Unterlassung, Auskunft und Schadenersatz – jeweils zwischen 140 und über 200 Euro. Was es damit auf sich hat und was Sie tun sollten, bevor oder nachdem Sie solch einen Brief bekommen haben, besprechen wir. Was ist dran an den Vorwürfen, wie begründet sind die Behauptungen? Das klingt nach Betrug, wie ernst muss man das nehmen. Muss man darauf überhaupt reagieren? Was sollte man unternehmen? Was hat es mit den Abmahnungen auf sich, wie werden die Zielpersonen überhaupt gefunden? Kann man Googles Schriftarten aus Google Fonts rechtssicher einsetzen? Darüber und über viele weitere Fragen auch aus dem Publikum, spricht Martin Holland (@fingolas) mit dem Justiziar von Heise Medien, Joerg Heidrich (@dasgesetzbinich) und dem Rechtsanwalt sowie zertifiziertem Datenschutzbeauftragten Niklas Mühleis (@niklasschreibt) in einer neuen Folge der #heiseshow, live ab 12 Uhr. === Anzeige / Sponsorenhinweis === Die Anpassung an den Wandel ist wichtiger denn je.

[00:01:47] Don, Sean, and Venia share their experiences with Google Analytics. [00:03:45] Venia announces the big news about Google Analytics and we hear about the history of Google Analytics. [00:13:47] Sean asks if the folks who were invisible to the conventional Analytics become a prototype of what people have in terms of tools and power under the new Google, and Venia explains “dark data.” [00:16:25] Don talks about the global privacy control you have to do for handling personal data in California and the California Detector. [00:17:32] Venia talks about what happened in 2016 with GDPR. [00:19:29] Where does Google Analytics new platform fit into this problem space? [00:22:46] Sean asks if we are anthropomorphizing his smart fridge if it's connected to the internet and if it now has a right to be forgotten, and Venia and Don respond. [00:27:37] Don explains about how we put a lot of emphasis on privacy changes but arbitrary policy changes by big platforms also have a big impact, and we learn how much will be handled by JavaScript Frameworks and development tools down the road. [00:30:54] Venia wonders how much of a nightmare this transition will be, and what it will look like for the business owner, the end user, and for Google. [00:36:24] What are the implications for people who buy and sell these ads by the thousand and what are the implications for the consumer?

On today's episode of RethinkYour.com we are talking about personal privacy. In recent years, the topic of personal privacy usually relates to how our online activity can be translated into some type of targeted marketing. It's commonplace to see cookie notifications on websites and tracking messages on smartphone apps; the existence of these messages has made everyone aware that they are being tracked. But what exactly is being tracked, and how is that information used? Our source for today's podcast comes from a German Court that recently ruled on how using Google Fonts on your website is a violation of personal privacy. From the GDPR to the CCPA, understanding the differences in privacy laws is critical for every website. This is a very complicated topic that we're digesting for you today. You'll hear about the types of information that can be tracked, some methods of being tracked, and why user tracking is so important for helping you make better decisions in your jewelry store. Let's dive in and break it down now…
En breve WordPress va a resolver algo que por ahora sólo se podría hacer con plugins: añadir una fuente web de forma nativa, tipo las Google Fonts.

Want to keep some text in your document private while sharing the rest of it with others? DocSecrets can help. Just add a password to the DocSecrets sidebar, then type any secret text you want to add to your document in the add-on's Insert field. You can select existing text on the page and click Censor text to hide it—but that text would still be visible in the document's history, making it not nearly as private. Then, to see the hidden text, your collaborators will have to both know your password and have the DocSecrets add-on installed—otherwise all they'll see is colored lines and dashes.

In today's episode, we're talking about what it looks like to get online ready. It really doesn't matter what you've done online nor what you're wanting to do, there is one underlying thread that needs to be succinct within your online presence… and that is what your business looks like visually. And of course, I'm talking about images and fonts and colors. These are the visual representation of your brand. Equally important is the messaging of your brand. What emotions does your brand evoke? What type of person is attracted to your visuals? Are you relatable? Do the visuals match your level of experience? Because you're transitioning from an offline brand to an online brand, you will want to look at every aspect of your brand identity and make sure that it translates as well on the screen as it does in 3D. Let's start with your colors. In the printing world, they use CMYK to create color -- or in other words this model works by partially or entirely masking colors on a lighter, usually white, background. It is sometimes called subtractive because inks "subtract" the colors red, green and blue from white light. In the online space, when we're working with screens, we're using RGB to create color -- and this is the process by which red, green, and blue light are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors. The name of the model comes from the initials of the three additive primary colors, red, green, and blue. You might have also heard of Pantone colors which are color codes that stand for a specific shade. Basically, pantone is the standard language for colors and might be what you've looked at when picking paint colors. It's not going to translate one-to-one for print nor one-to-one for screen so we're not going to focus on it here. If you're currently using CMYK colors be sure to use a tool to see what the RGB version of that color looks like on several different devices and screens. You may want to adjust your colors in order to allow them to pop on screens. Our screens can display 16,777,216 different colors because each of Red, Green and Blue have 256 shades but CMYK cannot translate to each of those colors because it uses pigments instead of light. They are really different entities and it's worth the time to translate your logo and brand colors into online equivalents. And you do have the liberty to alter colors and shades as necessary to get the right look and feel online. OK, now onto the fonts you use. Online we use written word everywhere from our websites to overlays on our graphics. In the offline space, using the default font for printouts that you give your students or instructions you send home with your artwork is usually fine. Those printouts aren't going to live in association with your brand for the long term. You might use a few fonts for signage inside your studio, your business card and flyers. And this is the aspect of your brand that you'll be carrying forward online. In addition to the fonts themselves, there are font weights and variations to consider. There are nine font weights - 100 which is “Thin” through 900 which is “Black” and everything in between. Normal is 400 and bold is 700. You'll likely want to bring at least those two weights online and possibly one or two more. When it comes to variations, we're talking about italic and small caps. I don't usually see a lot of small caps but I do see italic… so we're looking at somewhere from four to eight different looks for the exact same font. And we haven't even got into font size yet -- but don't worry we'll get there soon. Before that, a few thoughts on the number of fonts to use… two. Period. Only two fonts. One is going to be your serif or sans-serif main text font and one is going to be your decorative font for emphasis and headlines. With fonts, I strongly recommend looking at the usage policy of the fonts you are already using -- some might have web use while others don't. Be sure to use web fonts and follow the rules set forth by the font creator or font distributor. The two font repositories that I use most often online are Google Fonts and Adobe Typekit. If your font doesn't permit web use, look at these repositories to find something that you're happy to use in your online visuals. If you're unable to locate a font, then consider purchasing a new one that has web usage rights. Now let's talk about font size!!! I recommend sticking with standard and consistent font sizing -- this means that as your website is being built out, you'll want to define the font family, font size, font variant and font color for all the standard website building blocks, like headings and paragraphs and quotes and lists. Once it's defined and you pick that website building block, you'll be well on your way to have a consistent look online. Feeling pretty good about this so far? We've talked about translating your print and paint colors to online colors and fonts for written word. So, now let's discuss some of the parts of your brand that will likely be new to you now that you're expanding online. Yup, we're talking imagery. These are not only your headshots and brand photographs but also the swishes and lines and symbols and icons that you use within your website and social media. Are they hand drawn or computer drawn? What is the line weight? Are they modern or classic, frilly or simple? How will they be used to stitch your online identity together? Are they monochrome or colorful? Are they formal or informal? The first few questions were more about the swishes and lines and symbols and icons whereas the last few were about your photographs. My brand photos were taken in front of metal siding and I use the one with the siding as my profile picture but for my website and within social media graphics I removed the background on the pictures so that I could overlay them and have them stand out. So think about how you're going to want to use photographs within your online visuals and make sure to keep your brand and its message top of mind when they are being taken. The last thing I want is for you to have no images that you can use that match up with the rest of what you're trying to do online. Icons and symbols are a great way to break up content, I use bullet points regularly within my podcast episodes and I made the conscious choice to keep them simple. When I want to spruce up bullet points on sales pages or other pages, I'll use aspects of my submark and the bright pattern you see on the podcast artwork. My brand is vibrant and fun and not intimidating because I want to attract fun and spontaneous artists who are looking to do something online. We haven't talked about brand messaging in this episode precisely because this episode was about getting your brand online ready and I believe that focus needs to be on the graphics, fonts and colors. Making these decisions and crossing that off the list is going to make everything else you're wanting to do in this growth stage that much easier -- you'll have a basis from which to work!
